    Easiest (relatively) thing to do is treat it like a straight news obit, as though a newsmaker died. I'm guessing most of the evergreen obits on Paterno are in various stages of reconstruction.

    I would like the Eddie Robinson comparison better, personally.

    After Gabrielle Giffords, I thought the media had learned.

    I guess not.

    Is it really that important to break someone's death 10 minutes before someone else?
